Saturday, October 24th,
for those of you needing a day in time, thanks for joining us
this morning. Yeah, let's take a look
at what's happening in the news today. We thank you for
joining us here streaming on Fox Local.
If you don't have that app, get it, because a lot's
happening on that streaming side.
We've got all sorts of fun things planned today. Marches and
runs and events, you name it.
But yeah, you're going to have to take your jacket if you're
heading out today. Oh, yeah. You know,
one of my signature lines is always, and I've heard people
using it don't be fooled by the sunshine exactly
that's just prepare accordingly you know pay
attention you need your jacket you need
your sweater don't think just because it's nice and
sunny out there ah no problem it's a nippy it's cold okay
so sunny but a very pleasant day i mean
we're not talking any kind of rainfall anywhere
for us 43 degrees the winds are from the northeast
at six miles an hour and that northeast breeze is light
but you know you're going to feel that
a little bit if you step outside.
Satellite radar composite showing you we have a ridge of high
pressure to the north. That's influencing our pattern.
We have a trough out here to the west,
but nothing else happening.
There is some precipitation well to the south of us. 37 at
Dulles this hour, the same at Hagerstown,
a chilly 32 for Frederick, Westminster 34,
33 at Cumberland, and 32 at Winchester,
36 at Culpeper, 49 degrees for Annapolis this hour.
Now, we do have, until 9 o'clock only, a frost advisory in effect,
and that does encompass Frederick County as well as Harford,
Cecil County, Baltimore County,
and you can see over across Delmarva as well there.
So pretty chilly conditions there.
The warning doesn't affect us at all because it's in Pennsylvania,
but this is until 9 o'clock this morning,
so definitely sensitive vegetation.
Wow, not surviving that.
sunshine right across the board for today
by the three o'clock hour into the low 60s and that's
where we're headed for a daytime high 64
at Manassas in the city 63 at Frederick 64 at
Quantico and 64 at Fredericksburg
and if you're heading out the door in the next couple of hours
or so here's what you can anticipate chilly conditions
and 49 degrees by the time we hit
the nine o'clock hour by 10 bumping it up ever
so slightly to 55 degrees as we head to the low
60s for those highs. Full forecast on the other side.
Maureen. Gwen, thank you.
